Annular eclipses of the Sun occur about as often as the total ones do, and an annular's path is likewise narrow. Outside of it observers see only a partial cover-up. Below are brief descriptions of this eclipses in of the Sun and Moon. Times are in Universal Time UT except as noted.
Adjust these to get those for your time zone e. It's been more than two years since we've experienced a total lunar eclipse — the last one was September 27—28, — and skygazers are ready for another!
Totality lasts a generous 77 minutes, from to UT. The timing of this one, with mid-eclipse at UT, favors locations around the Pacific Rim: not long after sunset for eastern Asia and Australia; around midnight for Hawaii; and and before dawn for western North America.
This animation by Larry Koehn shows how the event plays out for the principal North American time zones, plus Hawaii. But not all of the U. As the map below shows, totality occurs in the hours before dawn for those on the West Coast, but it happens after moonset and sunrise for those east of the Mississippi River.
In fact, those as far east as Boston won't get to see more than a small umbral nibble on the lunar disk. More information about this eclipse. All three of this year's partial solar eclipses occur deep in the Southern Hemisphere.
Note that solar-eclipse predictors compute the Sun's blockage during partial eclipses in two ways. Magnitude refers to the fraction of the solar disk's diameter that is covered by Moon, whereas obscuration corresponds to the fraction of the disk's area that's covered. The viewing prospects are even worse for this partial solar eclipse, because the Moon's shadow clips Earth between the the coasts of Australia and Antarctica. France's Dumont d'Urville scientific station on the Antarctic coast should enjoy this event's "greatest eclipse," when a third of the Sun's diameter is covered at UT.
Two weeks after the new Moon involved in a July 13th's partial solar eclipse, the full Moon takes a deep dive through Earth's umbra for the second time this year. Mid-eclipse on July 27th comes at UT, which unfortunately is in the midst of daylight across North America. But it will be a grand show across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
The partial phases run from to UT, nearly 4 full hours, which results from two factors. First, the Moon passes directly through the heart of Earth's umbral shadow, just 6 arcminutes from its center. Second, the Moon is very nearly its most distant from Earth, near the apogee of its orbit, resulting in a slightly diminished orbital velocity. Two weeks later, with the Moon having moved halfway around its orbit and once again new, another partial solar eclipse takes place — the third and final one in This time the geometry shifts from extreme southern latitudes to extreme northern ones.
Greatest eclipse, at UT, takes place off the northern coast of Siberia at a latitude of Much of Scandinavia, Russia, and eastern Asia enjoy a partial eclipse that day. The mix of events gets more interesting next year, with three different flavors of solar eclipse — one each of partial, annular, and total — and partial and total lunar eclipses. The Moon's deep umbral dive on January 21, , will offer ringside seats for skywatchers in North and South America.
At greatest eclipse UT1 , the magnitude is 0. Local circumstances and eclipse times for a number of cities in Europe and Asia are listed in Table 5.
The Aug 11 Solar Eclipse Circumstances Calculator is an interactive web page that can quickly calculate the local circumstances for the eclipse from any geographic location not included in Table 5.
This eclipse belongs to Saros and is number 6 of 71 eclipses in the series. All eclipses in the series occur at the Moon's ascending node.
The Moon moves southward with respect to the node with each succeeding eclipse in the series and gamma [9] decreases. The altitude a and azimuth A of the Sun or Moon during an eclipse depend on the time and the observer's geographic coordinates. They are calculated as follows:. During the eclipses of , the values for GST and the geocentric Right Ascension and Declination of the Sun or the Moon at greatest eclipse are as follows:. Two web based tools that can also be used to calculate the local circumstances for all solar and lunar eclipses visible from any location.
The URLs for these tools are:. Javascript Solar Eclipse Explorer: www. Javascript Lunar Eclipse Explorer: www. A full report on eclipses during will be published in Observer's Handbook: It offers a graphically intuitive interface and contains maps, diagrams, tables, and information about every solar and lunar eclipse from BCE to CE.
This period includes solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. Much of EclipseWise. These eclipse predictions use the Jet Propulsion Lab's DE — a computer ephemeris used for calculating high precision coordinates of the Sun and Moon for thousands of years into the past and future.
Information on solar and lunar eclipse photography, and tips on eclipse observing and eye safety may be found at:. All eclipse predictions were generated on a Macintosh G4 PowerPC using algorithms developed from the Explanatory Supplement [] with additional algorithms from Meeus, Grosjean, and Vanderleen [].
All calculations, diagrams, tables, and opinions presented in this paper are those of the author, and he assumes full responsibility for their accuracy.

The leap seconds keep UTC within 0. The geometry isn't exact but close enough for a Saros series to last 12 or more centuries.
Chauvenet, W. Danjon, A. Espenak, F. Total Lunar Eclipse of January 31 The first lunar eclipse of the year occurs at the lunar orbit's ascending node in Cancer. Partial Solar Eclipse of February 15 The first solar eclipse of occurs in Capricornus at the Moon's descending node. Total Lunar Eclipse of July 27 The second total lunar eclipse of occurs at the Moon's descending node in Capricornus. Depending on the transparency of Earth's atmosphere, this could be a very dark eclipse The Moon's path through Earth's shadow as well as a map illustrating worldwide visibility of the event are shown in Figure 4.
Partial Solar Eclipse of August 11 The last eclipse of the year is the third partial solar eclipse. Eclipse Altitudes and Azimuths The altitude a and azimuth A of the Sun or Moon during an eclipse depend on the time and the observer's geographic coordinates. Eclipse Web Sites EclipseWise. Information on solar and lunar eclipse photography, and tips on eclipse observing and eye safety may be found at: www. July 13, , would witness a partial solar eclipse. It is also a Southern Hemisphere event and is visible from southeastern Australia and Antarctic Ocean.
The next total lunar eclipse would take place next on July 27, The last eclipse of the year would take place on August 11, The partial solar eclipse occurs in Leo at the Moon's ascending node. This time the event is visible from the Northern Hemisphere and includes northeastern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Northern Europe, north and eastern Asia. Solar Eclipse.
